Tennessee Couple Force Daughters as Young as Five into Pornography

When we find ourselves living in a world filled with seemingly evil people, often a quick look into how they were raised could help with the answer to the question “why?” It certainly does not solve everything but parenting skills (?) such as those indicated here can’t possibly be of any help raising a well rounded individual.

Ronnie Lee McCall and Connie McCall face federal sex crime charges after investigators found the girls, ages 5 to 16, living in a ‘deplorable’ trailer in Johnson City. The creepy parents forced their children into sexual encounters with paying adults, authorities say.

Investigators busted the McCalls after finding the girls living in disgusting conditions inside a Johnson City trailer.

Ronnie Lee McCall pleaded not guilty on Friday when he appeared in court.

Investigators said the 6-year-old had rotten teeth, flea bites, ringworm and lice.

“The amount of tooth decay, you can imagine, was extremely painful,” Johnson City police Investigator Debbie Dunn told WATE. “She had black teeth, and holes in all the teeth, just really inexcusable.”

The girls’ home was squalid — “just filth and extremely deplorable,” Dunn said.

An investigation revealed even more horrors.

A Tennessee husband and wife kept their children in ‘deplorable’ conditions in this trailer when they weren’t driving them to sex sessions with paying adults, authorities say.

The parents took the girls around town, dealing them to creepy customers, according to court documents.

The case went federal when authorities learned the couple had taken one girl across state lines into South Carolina for a black market porno.

The girl was sexually abused and filmed by a man who later committed suicide, Washington County District Attorney Tony Clark told WCYB.

Ronnie McCall pleaded not guilty Friday, and his wife is due in court Wednesday.

Connie McCall, shown in court, and her husband were originally under investigation for child neglect, but prosecutors say that was only the beginning.

Clark said he’s seen the terrors endured by some children, but what the McCalls did to their girls was something worse.

“When you have parents allegedly making money off of utilizing their kids for pornography and exploitation of the children — even after 20 years, it’s one of the worst that I’ve ever seen,” Clark told WATE.

The children are reportedly recovering in the care of child protective services.
